Oral question asked in the House of Commons, by Richard Younger-Ross (Liberal Democrat). It was answered on Tuesday, 5 December 2006 on behalf of the Foreign and Commonwealth Office.


Middle East

Question
Will the Minister raise the issue of glass fibre shells, which have allegedly been used in Gaza, with the Israeli Government because, as doctors in the House will know, they leave small fragments that cannot be detected by X-ray?
Answer

I will certainly make inquiries, but it is the first that I have heard about such munitions being used. If that is the case, we would certainly deplore their use.
